A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Bespoke Knitwear
Hand-knit all sweaters for the film based on the originals worn by Fred Rogers
“Yasemin Esmek has fixed Adrienne Warren’s costumes in “Tina: The Tina Turner Musical,” dressed Rockettes for Radio City’s “Christmas Spectacular” and altered Glenda Jackson’s suit in “King Lear.” But with “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” the new Tom Hanks film about the beloved public-television host Fred Rogers, her handiwork practically has a starring role.”
“When you put on that red sweater and those blue shoes, you may as well be putting on Batman’s cape and cowl. You feel powerful.”
“Yasemin’s work on A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood was exceptional. Most importantly to me as the design assistant is her great ability to communicate with the designer, understand the budget and understand the fast paced world of film.”
